Australian death metal trio WEREWOLVES formed in 2019 with the express purpose of releasing ten albums in ten years and they are now proud to present not only their fifth album ‘Die For Us’, but also the usual catastrophic global event that always seems to accompany our releases.
The band states: “Think we’re bullshitting? From album to album, we’ve had Australian bushfires where half the country burnt down, a global pandemic followed swiftly by global insanity, a US coup attempt plus the Ukraine war getting into full swing, then more fires AND floods everywhere.
Now we’ve released (online July 12th) ‘Die For Us’ which was followed a day later by an attempted US political assassination and the world’s most hysterical country going even more bananas. To make matters worse, this release is split into two parts: Bandcamp on Friday 12th, and everything else Friday 19th July…streaming, physicals, the lot. So no doubt something else equally mental will happen by the end of the week. Sorry.
The good news is we’re halfway to our ten album goal, so everything should calm down again by 2029. Until then, the world’s going to hell in a handbasket. Death, war, terror, evil, hate. Buy our album.”
‘Die For Us’ ticks every box for modern death metal, with excruciatingly violent blasting straight out the gates and very little let-up until the bitter end. The title track is an anthemic call to self-annihilation, ‘Beaten Back To Life’ castigates everyone with the temerity to have started listening to metal after 1992. ‘Fuck You Got Mine’ is a hymn to the joys of being a slumlord. ‘My Hate is Strong’ is pure visceral evil and features vocal contributions by Australian national treasure ROK from SADISTIK EXEKUTION. ‘Spittle-Flecked Rant’ flirts with d-beats and hardcore while imploring the world to be even worse, and ‘Under A Urinal Moon’ is a wave of blackened darkness piss.
